McGuinty Voting for MMP?

Premier Dalton McGuinty, who first broached the subject of sweeping electoral reform more than a year before he won power in 2003, is publicly remaining neutral. But privately he is believed to favour MMP because, sources say, "he's a Boy Scout on this stuff."

All McGuinty will say on the record is he welcomes the dissenting views on the subject within his cabinet and the Liberal caucus.

"This is not something that's going to be decided by a few cabinet ministers, it's going to be something that's decided by millions of Ontario voters. I look forward to their advice," the premier says.
